Objective: Survive
The same thing we do every night, Pinky: Try to take over the world!
To
protect the world from devastation, to unite all peoples within our nation, to denounce the evils of truth and love, to extend our reach to the stars abovebe in unity with as many people as I might unite under an appreciable understanding of life for one another works and exists, preferably in a way where true karma might actually exist.To be ok.
What all would that entail? Fun fact: i very much share this agenda
Right now, I’m smoking a bowl and watching a show about how McDonald’s and KFC got started.
Right now, I am ok.
I’m a mechanic
Zoom zoom?
I think it’s pretty neat when people get to do stuff they like with other people who want to join them.
to stick it to the man
Waiting until I’m free from this world tbh. It doesn’t matter what I do while waiting.
I don’t have one because I’m bad at note-taking
If you dont have an agenda, an agenda have YOU!
Yeah, that is fairly consistent with how I’ve been feeling. It’s tricky because you have a huge backlog of things on the hypothetical to-do list.
I’m reminded of an essay I read concerning complex systems and how complexity grows in functional software — the essay used the phrase “habitability” to convey the idea of software that is functional and usable even as it grows. In practice, this means nailing down your core functional requirements and starting with that, adding more features in a modular manner that aims to avoid messing up that core functionality.
What this looks like applied to my agenda problem is that my backlog is weeks if not months of work for multiple people to get on top of, and I can’t pause my life in the interim. Even getting a thorough list of the tasks in the backlog is too overwhelming a task for me at present, in part because new tasks keep coming from just existing. In the past when I have felt swamped like this, I did a big blitz through and got my life in order, but the backlog blob is too large to do that. Realistically, if I can’t give myself a proper clean slate like I usually would, I need to give myself a virtual clean slate so I can at the very least stop adding to the backlog.
I know this is what I need to do, but it’s very easy to become too overwhelmed to do anything. I know what I need to do, I just need to have the fortitude to start small and ignore the backlog for a while. Tell you what, I’m going to try and set a super basic agenda thing up today or tomorrow, so I can capture incoming tasks or notes. I’m going to try and tackle this like I would a software project, which means trying my best to avoid unnecessary complexity, like often happens when I try to consider the backlog blob. Watch this space, I guess :P
Thanks for the prod. I know you didn’t say much and I mostly talked myself into this, but sometimes that’s what’s needed when you’re wise enough to give great advice to yourself, but foolish enough to not take aforementioned great advice.
I just want to build cool things and have fun.
Get through the day.
